First off, welcome to the chaos of HHN speculationDefinitely learning a lot here, thanks for sharing everyone. Been lurking for a little bit, finally decided to join. Still feel like Us and Halloween ‘18 are simple wins that would make amazing houses but if the rights are difficult, then that’s another thing entirely.
Second, re: Halloween 2018, John said that he tried to bring it to the event last year but it didn’t work out so we instead got Halloween 4. We all thought Halloween 2018 was for sure a lock since Michael Myers is popular and the GP always clamor for him to return, but it isn’t that simple as “universal owns the rights to this, they can use it” unfortunately. Could something change for this year? It’s possible. But part of me thinks they wanna give the slashers a break since they’ve been consistently around from 2015-2018 (Halloween, big 4, titans of terror, and Halloween 4)
